petal shapes in two different sizes
I layered two fabrics together wrong sides together (can be the same or different) and traced the pattern. Stitch on the traced line (I had traced on the bottom fabric).
Cut out leaving approx 1/8 seam allowance. steam and roll in your hand to fray edges. Pinch center of largest and stitch, repeat with smaller one, layer the two together with one or two stitches and add button. I stitched mine to the bags.
Let me know if you have any questions, enjoy!
